It’s no secret that the future belongs to those businesses who embrace technology. From working more efficiently, to delivering better customer service, to retaining staff - keeping up with tech gives you a competitive edge that’s hard to beat.
Just consider these recent findings:
SMEs who embrace new technologies grow 26% faster than their competitors, and are 21% more profitable (Deloitte)
80% of SMEs who invest in cloud technology say it enables them to grow and scale faster (Deloitte)
A study by the MBIE concluded that the digital age brings extraordinary opportunities for New Zealand small-medium businesses; the greatest benefit being greater efficiencies
But for many small-medium business owners, staying on the ball with their IT is easier said than done. And of course, that’s understandable. Remember when business technology consisted of a few desktop computers, a fax machine and a printer? Those days are long gone. IT is now a hugely complex area, and one that’s becoming more and more time consuming, costly and challenging to handle in-house.
